  1. Surprise, surprise, surprise! Gina the Hutt doesn't like the Albappeasey government's humble CGT reforms. Well, my general rule of thumb is this: if Gina is against it, then I'm all for it! #australia #environment #climateemergency #ausgov #cgt #fossilfools #mininglobby #ginarinehart #eattherich echo.net.au/2024/12/too-much-m

  2. Yes, but if we stop buying fossil fuels from them, how are hardworking warmongers supposed to fund their wars?
    Also, said warmongers need to mine the seabed to extract materials to make more weapons to keep their wars going. (and we know mining and windfarms cannot coexist, so...)

  7. Really enjoyed speaking alongside a couple other activists to an audience of engaged, creative and outspoken rangatahi on today's Climate Action workshop.

    The kids are alright, now if we could only move the #fossilFools dinosaurs out of the way and let the young ones do their thing.... 🤔

  8. Nonsensical oil crisis response from the coalition #NZPol

    - If you take things out of your car, it will be lighter and use less petrol.

    - If you allow heavier loads in trucks they can carry more things and use less petrol too.

    Very good logic here. They have clearly thought this through.
    We are in good hands.... not.

    #fossilFools

    Edit: please see replies for reasons why this actually could make sense if you disregard long term damage to roads and increase in potentially deadly accidents (as well as wear and tear of the trucks themselves).

    Please also remember that I am just shitposting through it. It's a coping mechanism when I'm faced with the never ending torrent of shit this late stage capitalist hellscape and its minions force upon us all.
    It also doesn't really work for coping but it's all I got.

  9. But I thought they really really hated potholes?

    We're about to get loads more of them.

  13. Another week, another weather crisis.

    And yet, not a peep about climate action, because the climate denying #fossilFools are still in charge.

    This doesn't stop until we take meaningful action. And it starts by getting these corrupt stooges out of power.

    “Drilled

    How Trump's "energy dominance" plan helped fuel the new war in Iran”

    “In 1987, when Donald Trump was first flirting with running for president, he told an audience in New Hampshire that the United States should attack the "horrible, horrible country" of Iran, "and take over some of their oil." In the years since, Trump talked about grabbing control of the natural resources of Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Libya, too.

    For a long time — including during Trump's first term — this smash-and-grab idea to corner the global energy supply was treated as something of a joke by outside analysts and political opponents. In this second administration, a version of it has become a building block of American power projection, both at home and abroad.”

  18. And this is not "the new normal", this is the downward spiral and it will keep getting worse until meaningful, urgent action is taken.

    We must end the era of fossil fuels, and sack all these dinosaurs stuck with a 20th century neoliberal extractive colonial mindset.

    #FossilFools #ClimateCrisis

  19. We now have a weekly once-in-a-decade weather event.

    And still politicians refuse to take climate action, because it's too woke or something.

    (we all know that the real reason is that their donors profit from fossil fuels and polluting)

  23. #Google to tap into gas plant for #AIDatacenter in sharp turn from climate goals

    #Texas power plant would emit 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide per year, more than that of the entire city of San Francisco

    Dara Kerr, Thu 2 Apr 2026

    "According to Crusoe’s 465-page permit application, the power plant would emit as much as 4.5m tons of carbon dioxide, a primary driver of climate change, per year. For comparison, the entire city of San Francisco emits about 4m tons of carbon dioxide annually."

  28. RE: flipboard.com/@globalnews/mone

    I’m seeing this article being seeded through a number of different ‘news’ outlets in Canada through The Canadian Press. It’s basically a PR piece written by a Libertarian ‘think tank’ out of Montreal meant to sway public opinion in favour of another pipeline.

    More on the Montreal Economic Institute here:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal

    (Interesting to note a past VP at MEI is none other than PPC Leader Maxime Bernier.)
